The brilliance of Philip Rivers

[Panama]

Pointless because you don't like it?

Its relevant because it is very likely that Rivers and the Chargers will have to face Brady and Pats at some point during a SB run. Whether its the regular season or post season or both. His history against this particular foe is not good and it may be getting into his head at this point. If you don't think he knows he's 0-6 against them you're an even bigger homer than you admit.

Sigh. It's pointless for at least two reasons:

(1) Teams, not QBs, win games.

(2) Past performance is no guarantee of future returns.

So trends, tendencies and streaks aren't evaluated and scrutinized in the NFL? Ok.

When it's spread out over a decade-long career, can you really call it a trend, tendency, or streak? This is the sort of "stat" that's fun to announce in a broadcast or taunt your mates with but which is absolutely meaningless otherwise.
